Vow Wow

A trio of coordinating patterns creates a personalized spot to say “I do.” To make the valance, affix wallpaper to foam board with spray adhesive. The aisle runner? Double-stick-tape a roll to the floor. And for each chair cover, drape a strip over the back, punch two holes in each end, and tie on a ribbon.

Reception Wraps

For a party that’s as chic as it is colorful, swathe elements in paper with a subtle design that comes in contrasting shades. Illuminate loved ones with this instant lantern upgrade: Cut and press wallpaper onto the adhesive exteriors of Fenchel Shades custom pendant lamp shades (fenchelshades.com).

We used York Wallcoverings “Patrizia” wallpaper (yorkwall.com for stores). For the table, unfurl a 20 1/2-inch roll to create a runner (secure with double-sided tape) and cover wine bottle labels (use adhesive spray).

Decorative Details

Playful motifs lead to a nest of interactive ideas, including an escort card display that looks lovely (even after guests have flocked to their tables) and creative favor tags.
